It’s not a surprise that this mostly outdoor dining room is a hit after the short-lived Brosia.  Owner, Graziano Sbroggio has found a winning formula as he successfully presides over 3 other casual restaurants on Lincoln Road as well.  This open space is quite dramatic with 100 -year old white oaks, a blue-green mosaic wall and anchored by a large bar in the center of it all.  A selection of cured meats and specialty cheeses are worth ordering.   Thin -crusted  and  nicely charred pizzas number 3 dozen and the house makes pasta daily like ribbons of pappardelle with osso buco ragu, and melt in your mouth seafood lasagna.  Weekends enjoy brunch and live jazz on Sundays.
